7 Preventing Delinquency and Default

8 8 Delinquency & Default (Federal/Private Loans) Delinquency & defaults on student loans can adversely impact borrower s credit history Delinquency Failure to make payment(s) when due Reported to credit bureaus; affects borrowers history Default Collection agencies may take over, adding to cost Lender can take legal action School can withhold records Federal defaults could include wage garnishment & withholding of federal tax refunds Student loans are rarely discharged in bankruptcy

9 9 Early student borrower outreach Familiarize student borrowers with their debt obligations, payment options, and default consequences Communications are most effective at key transition points in the loan s lifecycle Provide helpful, relevant, and easy-to-understand information Offer resources well before the student borrower enters repayment (inschool, separation, grace)

10 10 Discussion Entrance Counseling Financial Literacy Repayment Calculators/Sheets What works on your campus?

11 11 Default prevention techniques for schools Counsel student borrowers on repayment options tailored to individual needs during in-school and grace periods on private loans Attempt to contact targeted populations prior to entering repayment In-school and/or grace-period outreach campaigns Work with your school s repayment-and default-management staff and third-party servicer(s) Use specialized strategies and counselors for late-stage delinquencies

12 12 Borrower outreach tips for schools Communicate with student borrowers by means they feel most comfortable Video narratives embedded within messages Reduce text-laden letter content in all (direct- and ) communications Offer non-banking hours of operation Nights, weekends, etc. Consider using alternate telephone numbers and/or personal references

13 13 Financial literacy tips for schools While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, families should follow the approach: Start with money you do not have to repay. This can include scholarships, grants and work study. Explore federal education loans. Apply by completing the FAFSA. Consider filling in the gap with a responsible private education loan. Counsel students to be aware of their likely future earning power associated with their degree and program-of-study Borrow accordingly Encourage student borrowers to access NSLDS o Locate a summary of their federal student loans

14 14 Financial literacy tips for schools (continued) Advise student borrowers to request a free credit report annually Help students to understand their credit score and purpose of a good score. (Sallie Mae provides borrowers their FICO score on a regular basis.) Require students to demonstrate financial literacy in a forum that your school deems appropriate Create videos and letter content on relevant topics Student loan repayment Money management o Budget building exercises Securing gainful employment o Interview tips, resume building, etc.

15 15 Understand Your loan portfolio Retrieve the NSLDS SCHPR1 School Portfolio Report on a monthly basis Augment NSLDS data with information from loan servicers Segment your school s portfolio based on various risk attributes Account status and delinquency ranges Separation reason o Graduated, withdrawn, dismissed Account balance Identify student borrowers who are at-risk of defaulting by the close of the CDR evaluation period (September 30)

16 16 Default management and default aversion tips Promote principal-reducing payment via standard repayment terms Promote automatic debit account enrollment Take advantage of interest rate reductions for on-time repayment Help student borrowers develop a payment relationship with their loanservicers Suggest students explore federal repayment plan options IBR, ICR, graduated, extended repayment plans Make student borrowers aware of deferment entitlements for federal loans Refer students to their private lenders to see what options are available

17 17 Tips in Locating Your Students Verify demographic information during every student borrower interaction (via phone, in-person, etc.) Call archived telephone numbers on file and contact personal references if available Use third-party data providers to obtain the freshest demographic information associated with student borrower

25 25 Understanding Grace Periods Grace Period - period of time after a borrower graduates, leaves school or drops to less than half-time before monthly payment of principal and interest begins Payments may not be required during this period No application required Loan specific, varies according to loan once used completely, it s gone Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized loans have a six-month grace period Private and Institutional loans: check your promissory note Unsubsidized federal loans continue to accrue interest during the grace period Taking advantage of a grace period does not adversely impact credit

26 26 Ways to Defer Payments Direct Subsidized, Unsubsidized and some private loans offer grace periods Federal Consolidation Loans and Grad PLUS loans do not have grace periods Grad PLUS loans issued on or after July 1, 2008, include a six-month postschool deferment that essentially aligns with the Stafford grace period Forbearance can also be used to temporarily postpone payment if necessary for Consolidation loans and older Grad PLUS loans Borrower can postpone repayment on federal loans via a deferment or forbearance Borrower has to meet the qualifying conditions for a deferment or a forbearance

27 Understanding Federal Loan Deferments 27 Deferment: period when a borrower who meets certain criteria may postpone loan payments Application may be required depending on deferment type; recertification for subsequent deferment periods may also be required Federal student loan deferments are borrower specific, meaning eligibility is attached to the borrower and there is a max deferment time allotted for certain deferments Common Types of Deferments: In-School Economic Hardship Unemployment Military Graduate Fellowship The government pays interest on a borrower s behalf for subsidized loans during authorized deferment periods Note: Unsubsidized loans continue to accrue interest for which the borrower is responsible. Unless the interest is paid by the borrower, it may be capitalized (added to your principal balance) at the of the deferment period. To keep your total loan cost lower, you may want to consider paying all or some of the interest that accrues during this time.

28 28 Understanding Federal Loan Forbearance Discretionary Forbearance: allows a borrower who cannot make scheduled payments to temporarily delay or reduce the payments Interest continues to accrue on subsidized and unsubsidized loans during a forbearance period. Interest that accrues during the forbearance remains the borrower s responsibility. Unpaid interest may be capitalized at the end of the forbearance depending on the loan type and when the loan was disbursed. Additionally, there is a max forbearance time allotted. TIPS: Be careful, the use of forbearance adds expense! Forbearances can help you stay out of delinquency and default Capitalization of interest increases the amount to pay back - results in a higher monthly payment amount after the forbearance. - To keep your total loan cost lower, you may want to consider paying all or some of the interest that accrues during this time.

29 29 Impact of interest capitalization Interest capitalization occurs when unpaid interest is added to the principal amount of a loan, increasing the principal amount outstanding Examples: On a $50,000 loan, interest capitalized at the end of a 12 month deferment would be $3,400 with an interest rate of 6.5% with a loan term of 10 years. This will increase the total loan cost by $1, over the life of the loan On a $100,000, the interest capitalized at the end of a 12 month deferment would be $6,800 with an interest rate of 6.5% with a loan term of 10 years. This will increase the total loan cost by $2, over the life of the loan Source: Information gathered on 9/24/18

30 Federal Loan Forgiveness Program for Public Service Employees 30 Eligibility limited to Federal Direct Student Loan Program (FDLP), Stafford PLUS and Consolidation FFELP Stafford, PLUS and Consolidation are not eligible FFELP Borrowers may consolidate in the FDLP Additionally, borrowers must have: Made 120 on-time monthly payments beginning after October 1, 2007 during eligible public service employment.

Other loan forgiveness programs may also be available do your research! Source: studentaid.ed.gov

31 31 Private Loan repayment Private Student Loans Unsubsidized for life of loan Generally have a grace period prior to the time the student borrower is required to make principal and interest payments Residency and internship deferments may be available Forbearance and/or Deferment may be available Consult the loan servicer for information Repayment terms vary Options may be available NOTE: Check promissory note(s) for details

32 32 Paying off loans early Student borrowers can always prepay federal student loans without penalty Some private student loans can also be prepaid without penalty NOTE: student borrowers should check with their servicer Be aware of the relative cost After making the scheduled monthly payment, make additional payments towards private loans and/or unsubsidized federal loans that have the highest interest rates and/or most frequent capitalization to save money Loan payments are typically applied first toward fees, then interest, and finally principal check the promissory note for additional information
